Chiang Mai, A Fine City?

[Thighlander]

I just returned after a 23 month absence. I noticed a sighn along the path near Chiang Mai Gate: 10,000 THB fine for drinking in public (and/or 6 months imprisonment). What's up? that's Singapore prices for fines. Has anyone had to make a donation to avoid prosecution? On the other hand, it looks like the ditched the early bar closing thing. Chalk one up for the good guys.

Gate: 10,000 THB fine for drinking in public (and/or 6 months imprisonment).

If things aren't bad enough economically for businesses the authorities need to put that one up on Loi Khro Road.

As a point of clarification.... The fine is 10,000B or 6 mouths! If you're caught, make sure you have five friends with you!

You didn't clarify anything. The sign says 10,000 B fine 6 months imprisonment or BOTH.

Read again; "MOUTHS-5 friends", not months. Joke, get it?

If they are enforcing that fine you would never now it based upon the number of shirtless kii nok's that you see drinking big bottles of Chang while walking down Mun Mueang Rd.

Maybe we should start a thread about the shirtless. I've never seen more of them. Anyone know, when they stopped issuing fines for that?

 if it says in English  it probably meant for Farangs.
